Raven's Home (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 11 - The Most Interesting Mom In The World - full transcript

"Raven's Home" was filmed
in front of a live studio audience.

- Oh, good morning, Nia.
- Huh!

Wow. Somebody is
in a good mood.

Oh, of course.
Why wouldn't I be?

I woke up,
and I was still... me.

What's it like
to wake up you?

- Well...
- You know what?

Don't answer that.
It'll just bring me down.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
you're definitely still you.

Right down to those two
little hairs on your chin.

Hey, Mr Patel
isn't here yet.



Hopefully, we have a sub.

Ooh, I love subs.

Especially a fat, Italian one.

He's talking about a teacher.

So am I.

Remember Mr. Rotundi?

I loved that
chubby guy!

I'm sure that Jackson's dad is doing
the best thing for his family,

but we do not have
milkshakes for breakfast.

Gabriel...

Well, then maybe you should
just go live at Jackson's house.

Look, we'll talk
about this later.

Love you!

Say it back.



Say it back!

He said it.

He didn't say it.

Uh, Mr. Patel,
are you okay?

Yep, totally fine.
That's what happens

when your kid doesn't appreciate
what you do for a living,

and he thinks
you're ruining his life,

because you're "just a teacher,"

who won't let him have
a milkshake for breakfast.

I mean, who even does that?

I had a chocolate chip
protein shake this morning.

Ooh, I had
a root beer float.

Anyone else?

Well, why don't you all just
go live at Jackson's house?

You know what?
No assignment.

Instead of your next test,
I want everyone to do a project

on what your parents do
for a living,

so that you can learn
to appreciate them more.

Any questions?

Yeah.
Isn't this math class?

Shh!

A math assignment
with no math?

It's the only kind
of math I'm good at.

Episode Title :
"The Most Interesting Mom In The World"

Man, sitting in that Scut car all
day has not been kind to my behind.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah!

Work that Scut glute! Yeah!

- Great news, Mom.
- Yes, sweetie?

We have to do a report
for school on your career

- and how much we appreciate it.
- A report? On me?

Yeah, and we were thinking
we'd interview you on camera

and make, like,
this cool video presentation.

Of me?

- On camera?
- Yeah.

I gotta check my schedule,
but the only thing

I gotta do is my hair.
I gotta do my hair!

Levi, guess what!

I'm gonna be on TV!

TV? That's nothing.

You're gonna be on Tokyo.

What do you mean?

Check this out.

Cool! How'd you do that?

It's this new app that green-screens
people onto silly backgrounds.

Now, you're Bookerzilla.

Whoa! Yo, I'm huge.

Hey, look at me
crush this building.

Booker, Booker, focus.

Now, what we need to
crush is our project.

I'm thinking that we should do our
interview on Mom's fashion career.

- Clothes? Seriously?
- Yeah.

No way. We should definitely
do it on Mom's Scut driving.

I mean, that's
the exciting stuff,

the interesting
people she meets,

the stories,
the adventures.

No, no. I think
Mom following her dreams

of becoming a fashion designer
is way more exciting.

Well, right now,
I have a dream,

and it's to get
a good grade in math.

I have a dream that
my brother would use a glass.

Now, come on, Booker. This project
has to be better than Zeena's.

Oh! Now I get it.

Looks like someone
got Zeena-ed.

Yeah, big-time, but she's about to
get Nia-ed right in the project.

Why do you let her get
under your skin so much?

I'm just so tired
of her being all,

"I woke up, and I was me.

"I'm a better stepper,

and my project is gonna be
the best one in class."

Well, this time, my project
is gonna be better than hers.

So, now it's
your project?

Well, I clearly
have the better take on it.

Oh, no, no, no. See,
Booker is not having that.

So, so you're gonna go
all third person on me?

'Cause Nia is not having that.

Ooh, Levi is enjoying this.

I'm gonna make you
sumo wrestlers.

You know, Booker thinks maybe we should
just do our projects separately.

Finally, something
that Nia agrees with.

- Mm-hmm.
- Here.

Wait. Come back.

I need you to bump your bellies.

I'm Booker Baxter-Carter,
and my project is

on my mom and her amazing,
incredible Scut career.

So, Mom, tell us what it's
really like to be a Scut driver.

Well, first, my app tells me
when someone needs a ride.

Yeah?

And then, I pick them up.

Go on.

And then I drive them
to their destination.

And then?

And then, I drop them off.

And then?

And then, and then,

and then,
I do it all over again.

But you have
exciting conversations

with exciting people on
the way, though, right?

Oh! Oh, yes. Yes!

Just yesterday,
I picked up a police officer

whose squad car
was broken down.

Yes! Yes! And then you
two, uh, spotted a crime,

got into a high-speed chase,

ended in you
tackling the perps?

No, I just dropped him off
at the police station.

♪ ♪

So, Mom, tell us about your
incredible passion for fashion.

Well...

there's a dream
in every seam.

I scratch my creative itch
with every stitch.

I'm hoping to make a lot of
bread with every thread.

Okay, that's enough
of rhyming.

You started it.

Do you want
me to start over?

No, no, no. We're just
setting to the good stuff.

So, Mom, in simple,
non-rhyming words,

tell us what the most
exciting part

of the creative
process is for you.

The most exciting part
of the design process

is when I get
my first inspiration.

And for me, that's color,

you know, and all of
its endless possibilities.

- Here comes the good stuff.
- First, you have,

you got red, orange, yellow,

green, blue, indigo, violet.

And that's just ROY-G-BIV.

Girrrl...

don't even get me started
on the tertiary colors.

Bam!

Khaki, brown, puce,
mauve, light mauve...

Goldenrod, cerulean,
light cerulean,

- chartreuse...
- Okay, I get it!

There are a lot of colors.

I'm-I'm sorry. Just when do
we get to the good stuff,

like a fashion show,
a piece of clothing, a sock, anything?

Oh, well, sweetheart,
the finished product

is just the tip
of the design iceberg.

The excitement
is in the details

and all of the hard work
that goes into it,

which, I must say,

brings me... to fabric.

You got suede, leather,
silk, satin,

cotton, poly, poly-cotton,
cotton-poly blend,

wool, wool-poly-cotton blend,
poly-cotton-wool blend,

denim, light denim,
black denim, funky denim...

And then,
I do it all over again.

Knock, knock.

'Sup?

'Sup?

How's your, uh, project
coming along?

Oh, great. Great. Couldn't be better.
How about yours?

Uh, amazing.

So, uh, you're gonna be able
to raise your math grade

without doing any math?

Yep, easy A.

And your project is gonna
put a whooping on Zeena?

- Big-time.
- Okay. Okay.

All right, good.

- Please help me!
- My project stinks!

What?
But Mom's fashion career

has to be more exciting
than her Scut job.

Did you know that there's a
color called light cerulean?

Yeah, it's, like,
a blue, right?

Then just say "blue"!

How did both of our projects
turn out so boring?

I don't know.
Let's just hope

that everybody else's
projects are just as boring.

Yeah, I heard The
Guntz's mom is a baker.

I mean, that sounds
like a recipe for boring.

Yeah.

Your mom's cannolis

are like a creamy
cloud of heaven

tucked into a fried angel wing.

And for my
presentation tomorrow,

I'm also gonna show a clip of my
mom winning Pastry Chef Throwdown,

where yo not only have
to out-bake your opponents,

you have
to out-wrestle them!

Guntz's mom
is pretty jacked.

Cannolis and wrestling. Nobody
could have seen that coming.

That doesn't mean that Zeena's
project is gonna be any good.

Woo!

Sounds like
it's not that great.

My dad is a Polynesian
dance instructor.

So, you're just gonna show
a video tomorrow, right?

Oh, no.
That was my brother.

He's gonna come in, and we're
gonna do a live performance,

fire knife, uli uli,
the whole bit.

Of course you are.

I'm so over her uli uli.

Okay, don't overreact.

Their projects may be
better than ours,

way, way, way better,

but it's not like people are
gonna be laughing at us.

What did you see?

People are gonna be
laughing at us.

I feel so cerulean right now.

Just say "blue."

Okay, okay.
Point two-nine...

times 26

equals...

one.

More answer I don't know.

- Booker, we need to solve this problem.
- Yes! Yes, thank you!

Then, um... Then all the other
problems on the page too.

Let's start... -Not your homework.
Our projects, okay?

We need to join forces
and figure this out.

Are those The Guntz's
mom's cannolis?

They were all
I could think about.

She also made eclairs
and napoleons.

The Guntz's house is like
a cream-filled paradise.

I never wanted to leave.

I don't get it.
Our mom has two jobs.

Why can't at least one of them
be cream-filled?

- Yes!
- What?

This cannoli just won a gold
medal in bobsledding. Wanna see?

Wait. Wait.
That's it.

If Levi's greenscreen app can
make a cannoli look exciting,

we can use it to make
Mom's jobs look exciting.

Or give her new ones.

♪ ♪

Mom's coming!

Yes!

Finished my power walk.

Now, it's time
for my power nap.

What you doing, Booker?

The curtain rod fell and
rolled all the way over here.

That seems impossible.

I know, right?

Anyway, I've been trying
to hang it back up,

but it's just so darn heavy.

You got
your daddy's muscles.

It's okay, sweetheart.

I got you.

Oh, yeah!

That's not too heavy
for you, Mom?

It's not heavy at all.
Light as a feather.

Perfect.

Mom is on her way up.

- Ready, Tess?
- Ready!

Hi, sweetie. Booker said
you needed my help?

Yeah, I'm supposed to be
watching Wynia's dog for her

while she runs
a couple errands.

But, um, he wants to play,
and I think I'm allergic.

Oh, okay. Well, it's okay. I'll watch
the little cutie. What's his name?

His name is Bull,
and he loves this game

where you wear this beret
and neck scarf

as you run,
and he chases you

while you say,
"Bull can't catch me." Wanna try?

That's oddly specific,
sweetheart.

- But, um, sure, I'll do it.
- Okay.

Bull can't catch me!

Bull can't catch me!

Bull can't catch me!

Bull can't catch me!

He's loving t.

Bull can't catch me!

Bull can't catch me!

Why are you smearing your mom's
favorite jam on the counter?

You know what?

Don't tell me.
I wanna be surprised.

Quiet.
Here she comes.

Hey, Mom, will you settle an
argument between me and Levi?

Yeah, sure. He's smarter.
You're prettier.

Anything else?

Do you like this music?

Oh.

I like that.
I like...

Hey! What's this
all over my counter?

Y'all see this?

This is my favorite jam!

Hey, uh, what's that?

I said,
"This is my favorite jam!"

Oh, it's sticky, sticky,
sticky, sticky.

And... done.

In a sea of amazing parents,

one mom arises
above the rest.

She's not only
a professional weight lifter.

No, not heavy at all.
Light as a feather.

She also writes
books on exotic thrill-seeking.

Bull can't catch me!

And she's the
greatest DJ of her g-g-generation.

This is my favorite jam!

Sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky.

Our mom, Raven Baxter,

is the most interesting mom
in the world.

- And we appreciate her for it.
- And we appreciate her for it.

- We did it!
- Yes! We did it!

Hey! Break it down! Work it out!
Hey! What we celebrating?

We finished our video,

and it's amazing.

- I wanna see it!
- You wanna what now?

- I wanna see it.
- What-What...

You don't need to see it,

- because you... you lived it.
- Yeah.

You know what? You're right.
I don't need to see it.

I'm gonna wait and enjoy it like
everybody else in class tomorrow.

- What? - What?
- What? - What?

You didn't think I was
gonna miss your presentation, did you?

Bu-But, Mom,
no other parents are coming.

Then you should
consider yourselves lucky.

I can't wait
for tomorrow.

You guys are
in quite a... quite a jam.

It's sticky,
sticky, sticky.

Are you guys proud
of yourselves?

- Yep.
- Little bit.

All right, did you guys
make fake Scut requests,

so Mom'll be too busy driving
to make it to our presentation?

- No, but Mark Gerbler did.
- Who's Mark Gerbler?

I made him up. But he lives in
Skokie and wants to go to the zoo.

And Captain Meryl Von
ThirstinQuencher of Oak Park

has a very important
meeting uptown.

Weird but effective.

Just make sure you guys keep
up your end of the bargain.

Fine, you can have
Nia's cannoli.

And mine.

Thank you.

My father is a Polynesian
dance instructor,

and I appreciate that he passed on
these traditions to me and my brother.

Thank you.

You hear that, Gabriel?

Someone appreciates
her father.

All right, Booker and Nia,
you're up next.

In a sea of amazing parents,

one mom arises above the rest.

She's not only
a professional weight lifter...

Bull can't catch me!

And she's the
greatest DJ of her g-g-generation.

No, not heavy at all.
Light as a feather.

She also writes
books on exotic thrill-seeking.

This is my favorite jam!

Sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky.

This was my vision.

What happened?

Uh, Mr. Patel, can we
please have a moment

to sort out
our technical difficulties?

If that's what you're
calling them, sure.

Something must have
happened to our video

when we transferred it from
Levi's phone. Call him.

Okay.

Hey, wait. I have a
voicemail from Mom.

Why don't I have
a voicemail from Mom?

Aw, really?
We gonna do this now?

Face it.

I'm her go-to guy.

Booker,
I couldn't get through to Nia,

so make sure
she hears this.

Huh.

Really?

You let The Guntz go
while we were in the hall?

Don't worry.
We saved you some cann...

Gabriel!

Anyway, did you fix
your presentation?

Actually, we did.

And it's not fancy,
but we're proud of it.

Does it come with dessert?

What part of "not fancy"
didn't you understand, Curtis?

Anyway...

we made that fake video

because we thought
our mom's job was boring.

But after we heard
what just happened to her,

we realize that
her job isn't boring at all.

You see, a little while ago,
she was driving her Scut...

Okay, is any one of you

Captain Meryl Von
ThirstinQuencher from Oak Park?

Oh, hopefully, this person
doesn't cancel on me.

Hello, my name is Raven.

I will be
your Scut driver...

Hey.

What's your name?

- Andrew.
- Hi, Andrew.

Uh, you know,
you seem a little young

to be riding in a Scut
by yourself.

Where are your parents?

At home.

I'm going to my grandma's.
It's more fun there.

She lets me put chocolate
milk in my cereal.

Ooh! Grandma
living on the edge!

So...

So, how long do you plan on
staying at your grandma's for?

- Ever.
- That's a long time.

Yeah, well, ever since
my baby sister came home,

it's all about her.

"Turn your video game down.
You'll wake the baby."

"Don't cough near the baby."

"Don't use that language
in front of the baby."

Sounds like that baby
is out to get you.

Taking all your parents' time
and attention away from you.

- She is.
- And running away

to go live with your grandma,
that'll show them!

- Sure will.
- Yeah, it will.

That way, you never have to see
your annoying baby sister again,

your friends...

I don't know.
Your dog if you have one.

- I do. Kirby.
- Yep, never see him again.

And of course, your parents won't
be able to spend much time with you

if you live
at your grandma's.

- They won't?
- No.

I...

I think I wanna go home.

Well, good thing
we never left.

- You're good.
- I know I'm good.

I'm a mom.
That's what we do.

Come on.
I'll walk you to the door.

- I wanna meet Kirby.
- Thanks.

Hey! Hey! Don't forget
to give me a good rating.

So, even though our mom's
jobs may seem boring...

Like when she's designing
an outfit and debates a color choice

for hours, and hours, and hours.

Or when she's picking up
Scut passengers

and dropping them off for
hours, and hours, and hours.

It's all those little,
boring details

that, um, are the building
blocks for success.

Today, that attention to detail helped
our mom notice a pillow in a backpack.

And that boring detail saved a
kid from making a big mistake.

Sometimes, as kids, all we appreciate
is the flashy, exciting stuff

when we should
really appreciate

all the hard work
it took to get there.

So, today,
we appreciate our mom.

And we couldn't be
more proud of her.

You hear that, Gabriel?

Gabriel?

He heard it.

He didn't hear it.

But I did.
